	So this is life... I bring two new fellows to SOL and all my SOL friends have to tell them about me is my Scow title...

	In future when you address me you need to stand at attention... neatly and a salute will be required as when addressing any officer of a fleet... --- Last Edited by WetWing at 2012-06-01 13:30:15 --- --- Last Edited by WetWing at 2012-06-01 13:33:07 --- I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	What-what-what??? A flee(t)ing 'ossifer' with an angry bar-maid chasing him..? With what is it that you wish to be saluted? An upraised finger...? Or perhaps worse?....two upraised fingers? --- Last Edited by Rod at 2013-05-01 00:40:09 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	On WW's request, after checking my references, "Commander" has been added between Lieutenant and Captain. For some reason, this rating had been swept under the carpet... Corrected !

	Not wishing to complicate matters needlessly, I take pen in hand to communicate with Your Lordship the apparent lack of a most important rank in the Navel (the spelling is deliberate) Hierarchy, one that forms the boundary between the "Un-promotable" and the "future leaders of our maritime endeavors", namely that of "LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER". It is a rank that provides for the smooth transition from lowly, and unwashed, Lieutenant to the exalted rank of Commander-"Of whom great things are expected". I beg to remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, Landsman--late Sub-Lieutenant, of Her Majesty's Royal Canadian Navy (Reserve)--Rod. --- Last Edited by Rod at 2012-07-27 00:57:30 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Rod, as I checked my reference yesterday and as I wished to stick (more or less) to the noapoleonic wars ratings, i can tell you for sure that there was no Lieutnant-Commander at that time. But, as we already added Rear Admiral (after Scots) because the idea was good. And because I added Vice admiral because one must be vicious to reach that rate.... why not add Lieutnant-Commander because you ask ? Your reasons for asking this rating being very... reasonable... Lieutnant-Commander added !

	Rules 6 and 7 added too.

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
